(ophrys apifera) have a flower that looks like a female bumblebee. A male
bumblebee will sometimes come to the flower and attempts to copulate. After
spending some time and energy, the bumblebee realizes the flower is not a
prospective mate. During it's attempted copulation the bumblebee will help the
plant by taking and depositing some pollen. This interaction is an example of the
Bee orchid:
Using a facultative mutualistic relationship
O Exploiting what typically is a parasitic relationship
O Exploiting what typically is a mutualistic relationship
O Using an obligate mutualistic relationship
